Fees, Costs and Case Results
Where representation is offered on a contingency basis there is no attorney fee unless we recover, and the firm advances case costs — filing fees, expert witnesses and medical records — which are then repaid out of any recovery. If there is no recovery, you owe no attorney fee. The specific terms that apply to a matter are set out in the written fee agreement for that matter.
Where this site refers to a verdict, settlement or court order, that result was dependent on the facts of that case, and results will differ if based on different facts. Past results do not predict or guarantee the outcome of any other matter, and no particular outcome is promised or guaranteed.
Frequently Asked Questions
- What happens if I miss the statute of limitations?
- If you file your lawsuit even one day late, the court will dismiss your case. You lose your right to compensation forever, no matter how seriously you were injured or how clear the other driver's fault was. There are very few exceptions to this rule.
- Does talking to insurance companies affect my deadline?
- No. Negotiating with insurance companies does NOT extend or pause the statute of limitations. Insurance adjusters may deliberately drag out negotiations hoping you'll miss your deadline. Always track your filing deadline independently.
- What if I didn't discover my injury until later?
- California recognizes the "discovery rule" for certain injuries that aren't immediately apparent. The statute may begin when you discovered (or reasonably should have discovered) the injury. However, this is a complex legal issue requiring attorney analysis.
- Can the statute of limitations be extended?
- Yes, in limited circumstances. The statute can be "tolled" (paused) if the defendant leaves California, if the plaintiff is a minor or mentally incapacitated, during active military duty, or under certain fraud circumstances. Each situation is highly fact-specific.
